Offensive Tooling
Building scripts, utilities, and tools that help with our day-to-day research — the small things that make hunting bugs faster and repeatable.
Teams
How RaptX is organized
RaptX is split into two research teams that work side by side. The Offensive team breaks software and builds tooling; the Defensive team — newer, and growing — tracks live threats and builds the means to detect them. Together they cover the full picture, and everything that ships is published in the open.
Red Team
Offensive Security Research
The Offensive Security Research team focuses on finding weaknesses before attackers do. We hunt for vulnerabilities in real-world software, build the tooling that makes that research faster, and write up everything we learn along the way.
CVE Research
Actively looking into potential vulnerabilities in widely used software and learning how to properly analyze, validate, and responsibly disclose them.
Research Articles & Blogs
Documenting findings, techniques, tools, and lessons learned so other researchers can build on the work instead of starting from scratch.
Blue Team
Defensive Security Research
The Defensive Security Research team is RaptX's newer arm. Its mandate: track active campaigns as they unfold, pull apart malicious software, and turn that understanding into detections the wider community can deploy.
Threat Hunting
Actively looking for ongoing malware campaigns and threat actors so we can warn the community about them before they spread further.
Malware Analysis
Reverse engineering malicious software, understanding how it works, and publishing the results to public databases for everyone to use.
Detection Engineering
Writing detection rules that help the community detect and defend against ongoing threats — turning analysis into something defenders can act on.
Pick a side — or both
Whether you like breaking software or hunting the people who abuse it, there's a place for you on RaptX.
